Description
Matthew 24 & the End Times
The far-reaching Roman Empire of the first century was the backdrop of history’s most pivotal drama in the story of civilization. And the Jewish capitol, Jerusalem, was the stage on which both noble and ignoble actors played out their destined roles.
But the Script, ah . . . the script, recorded in Matthew’s Gospel has, since then, been variously interpreted: Did the playwright intend to portray “The End of the World as We Know it”? Just the “End of an Age”? Or the “End of the Jewish Nation”? Are the “Signs of the Times” upon us?
Raymond Grant unravels this heart-rending, mind-boggling, soul-searching drama with the exposition of a denouement of biblical proportions! He writes from the vantage point of a Christian apologist, and from the vista of an expositor of Scripture and research academian. He has previously contributed research for a study Bible, pastoral sermons, and church leadership books, but delights most in presenting the Gospel of the Kingdom to curious minds and traumatized souls.

Tim B –
I thoroughly appreciated this book! I was impressed with Mr. Grant’s command and use of historical information combined with scriptural prophecy and Hebrew and Greek languages to prove his premise. In addition, the book glorified Christ and His work on the cross.This is a scholarly yet very enjoyable work, and I would definitely recommend it! (Amazon.com review)
Joan Lo –
This is an excellent book and completely absorbing for anyone with a preterist interest in end times prophecy and Matthew 24. Mr Grant takes us through the controversial views and opinions of end times prophecy and then goes into great depth detailing his view of the true meaning of Matthew 24, while at the same time not straying from the biblical message given to us by the Lord Jesus. What Mr Grant writes about is there for all of us to read in the Bible and his views are backed up with the biblical prophecy in Matthew 24. I ‘stumbled’ across this book by accident and I’m very happy I did because I cannot recommend it highly enough. Kudos to Mr Grant for giving us such a well researched and insightful understanding of the Olivet Discourse. (Amazon.com review)
